3-5× FASTER THAN MANUAL: The SF5000 handles, conveys and re-stacks automatically, processing 3-5× the volume of a manual sorting crew — with a fraction of the labour.
RECOVERS HEAVILY-DAMAGED PALLETS: With integrated repair stations, the line recovers pallets with 60%+ damage that would otherwise be scrapped.
SCALES WITH YOUR BUSINESS: From 200 to 5,000 pallets per shift — the line is built around your volume, not a fixed line configuration.
COMPLETE USED-PALLET WORKFLOW: Un-stacking, conveying, turning, inspection, sorting, repair, re-stacking and dust extraction — the full recovery process in one integrated line.
PREMIUM INDUSTRIAL SENSING: Banner + Pepperl+Fuchs sensors — top-tier American and German industrial brands — drive accurate detection and sorting of pallet condition.
SIEMENS SMART CONTROL: Siemens PLC with Schneider electrics runs the line reliably, shift after shift, with industrial-grade components throughout.
CUSTOM-BUILT TO YOUR OPERATION: Throughput (200-5,000/shift), number of repair stations (0-20), conveyor length, footprint and power (up to 100 kW) — all configured to your site.
BUILT FOR 15-20 YEARS: Heavy Q235 / Q345 steel construction engineered for 15-20 years of service, backed by a 1-year warranty and lifetime remote support.

Q: What does the SF5000 line do?
A: It handles the complete used-pallet recovery workflow — un-stacking, conveying, turning, inspection, sorting, repair, re-stacking and dust extraction.
Q: How many pallets can it process?
A: Configurable from 200 to 5,000 pallets per shift, 3-5× faster than manual sorting and repair.
Q: What pallet sizes and types can it handle?
A: Customizable for pallets from 800-1,500 mm; the line is built around your used-pallet mix.
Q: How damaged a pallet can it recover?
A: With integrated repair stations, pallets with 60%+ damage can be recovered rather than scrapped.
Q: How customizable is the line?
A: Highly — throughput, 0-20 repair stations, conveyor length, footprint, power (up to 100 kW) and 3-phase voltage, customizable to client's local voltage (e.g., 220V, 380V, 415V, 480V)
Q: What voltage does it use?
A: Configurable up to 480V to match your local power supply.
Q: Where can we get replacement parts?
A: Most spare parts are kept in stock and shipped directly from our warehouse; many parts can also be sourced locally.
Q: What support do you provide?
A: Phone / email / WhatsApp support, English manuals and operation videos, plus on-site engineer service available.
Q: Can the system be set to our language?
A: Yes — the system supports common languages including English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese.
Q: Can the machine be customized?
A: Yes — every SF5000 line is custom-built to the buyer's throughput, pallet types and layout.
